Can a classic car restoration ignite a lifelong passion? Join us at the Lone Star Street Rod Association's 49th Annual State Run in Hewlett Park, Granbury, Texas, where we meet Butch Doss, a retired firefighter from Waco, and his stunning 1950 'shoebox' Ford. Butch takes us on an enthralling journey through the meticulous restoration of his bright red classic, sharing how the original chassis, Mustang II front clip, and 5.0 Mustang engine with vintage air conditioning came together. Alongside his fellow firefighter, Butch reveals the highs and lows of breathing new life into these timeless machines and offers a glimpse into his rich history with cars and firefighting.
Ever wondered how vintage car enthusiasts balance passion and creativity? Our next segment introduces you to a dedicated Ford owner with a stock, fuel-injected engine from the '90s, complete with French headlights and taillights. The car's custom pinstriping, featuring a guitar, speaks volumes about the owner's love for bluegrass gospel music. Through captivating anecdotes about the car's previous owner, Ben Danford, and tales of a memorable trade involving a coke box, we explore the challenges of sourcing body parts for vintage vehicles and the artistry involved in custom pinstriping. The pride of owning another prized possession, a 1950 Ford named Little Beaver, is celebrated as well.
Classic car aficionados, get ready for a nostalgic trip down memory lane. From the iconic "Hot Rod Lincoln" song hitting the Billboard charts in 1972 to Henry Ford's early days at the Edison Illuminating Company, we celebrate automotive history and its milestones This Week In Auto History. We'll guess the selling prices of vintage vehicles featured on Hemmings, including the 1982 Chevrolet Corvette and the 1995 Ford Mustang, while reflecting on what makes these models extraordinary. Don't miss our tribute to the National Corvette Museum's 1992 groundbreaking and its upcoming anniversary, and join us in celebrating the community spirit at the Tailpipes and Tacos Cruise Inn.
